PACTS ABOUT GAS METERS

HONEST INSTRUMENT INVENTED, The engineer has come to the rescue of the gas meter and purposes to put ;> on a plane so high and so honourable that herein ter the little ticking instrument will be compared with the automatic scale or the cash register Air downright honesty. The engineers, after experiments and investigations, asserv that thely have perfected a meter which ■will register only the heat units going through the meter. Then when the gas flame chokes alnd sputters and decides to continue its expensive existence, the wheels of the meter will turn no faster, in fact, will not record the chug. What it is goes through the pipes to cause financial gymnastics by the present-day meters no one knows—-a L least 'the patrfm docs not—but in Hie coming meter the gynasties will be gladly missing. If the gas stove sets.the water boiling twice as fast as before, or 'the gas log gets the room up to a living temperature. quickly, one well know that real gas, something that will burn anjl leave the heat behind, is being pumped through the pipes. At the same time you will know that you are paying for something that is being delivered. And many gas users suspect that a lot ol hot air or cold air-rat least something that wjll not burn—hap boon ahd is being forced through the pipfis.

First test's of the new meter arc to be uade in Eiaghuijl because the machinp ias been perfected by the engineers cf bat counfry.
